People Give This Woman The Clothes Of Their Loved Ones So She Could Turn Them Into Memory Bears
Some might disagree but in a very optimistic way, every moment is precious. Every downfall is a lesson and any uprise is a blessing. Well, yes yes, you can always argue that there are some exceptions but to sum it all up, life is really precious, therefore everything that comes within it should be cherished. Despite that being said, sometimes it's pretty hard to savor the moment when it's all just in your head. But surely enough, every problem must have a solution and this lady, Mary Macinnes, started to make adorable Teddy bears from old clothes of people's loved ones to help people preserve their precious memories. Some people wish to preserve a memory of their children while some find remorse in the bear made from clothes that belonged to someone who passed away. For others, it's a cute little substitute of a loved one that went away for a while. She usually spends 5-6 hours planning, cutting, creating & sewing each bear and it's all well worth it! Take a look at these cuties!

Its says she does the bears as memories of the living and/or of thoses that have passed away
This woman is fantastic and I'm so happy that she thought of something so brilliant.
My mom passed at 92. That Christmas I made small pillows for family from her favourite mauve skirt & a couple of her blouses. Everyone was thrilled.
I would LOVE to be able to contact this woman and discuss prices. I have more than one person that I would like to memorialize.
Me, too. My best friend committed suicide, and I have one of the last blankets my grandmother made, but it's really worn down now; I can't sleep with it anymore. I was given some of my best friend's work shirts. Although, it would be neat to make each of my daughters' a bear from the kimono I was married in.

I'd love to get the teddy pattern..very sweet and imaginative!
I would love to get a hold of her to see if she would have the time to make some it would be great to have one made of my daughter.
Incredible talent, wish I had one fraction of hers, each one is well created !!!
It's not necessarily for people who've died, people! Those made with kiddie clothes are probably made as a keepsake for the kids, so they could pass on to THEIR kids when they have them.
The clothes of a dead loved one would not bring me joy. I wish, though, that I could give my husband a bear made out of his favorite worn out jacket.
You know theres a scary short film called the dollmaker. They dollmaker also uses the deceased persons old clothes. GO WATCH IT ITS COOL :))
I don't think that's really necessary to say?
